Dropcontact operates on a subscription basis with a monthly or annual credit quota that automatically renews. We use a Pay On Success model, which means you're only charged when an email is successfully found or verified.
Pay On Success billing đ
A credit is charged only when:
- A verified email is successfully enriched and returned, or
- An email is provided specifically for verification
If no email is found, your credit is automatically refunded.
Plans and credit quotas
Choose the plan that fits your needs:
Starter plan: Includes B2B email enrichment, native email validation, advanced catch-all verification, 100% GDPR-compliant processing, file-based enrichment, API & MCP access, and Google Sheets add-on.
Growth plan: Everything in Starter, plus credits carry over, LinkedIn enrichment (no login required), job cleaning, AI-powered job classification, company change detection, and company data enrichment.

Select your credit quota (from 500 to 150,000 emails per month) based on your volume. Your quota resets at each renewal date.
